Zoya Akhtar spoke about the movie in an interview to Firstpost. “Yes, my next film is inspired by real life street rappers. I watched these kids on the Net and they just blew my mind. I didn’t know that this kind of music was coming out of the lanes and by-lanes of Mumbai. People are so consumed with listening to just film music that nobody pays attention to some serious talent on the streets. That is how it all started.”

Ranveer and Alia have shared screen space although not on the big screen and not in a romantic pairing. Both have appeared together in a series of quirky ads for MakeMyTrip, but will come together for a full-fledged film for the first time in Gully Boy.
